While reading through the Motion Picture Production Code of 1930 I couldn't help wondering if this is still the Code of Practice observed at the BBC and National Radio.

Good thing too. Who, after all, could demur from this clause:

2. Scenes of Passion
  a. They should not be introduced when not essential to the plot.
  b. Excessive and lustful kissing, lustful embraces, suggestive postures and gestures, are not to be shown.

Or:

Dancing in general is recognized as an art and as a beautiful form of expressing human emotions. But dances which suggest or represent sexual actions, whether performed solo or with two or more; dances intended to excite the emotional reaction of an audience; dances with movement of the breasts, excessive body movements while the feet are stationary, violate decency and are wrong.

In fact, looking down that list, it's hard to think of a prime time show that wouldn't violate every clause.

On reflection, how would life not be improved by violating every clause from No. 2 on down?
